Softball Run Rules Bucknell & Canisius, Shroyer Tosses No Hitter

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) softball team opened the UNCG Invitational with two five-inning victories on Friday. The Spartans defeated Bucknell, 13-5, and then shutout Canisius, 9-0.
 
With their 7-5 overall record, the Spartans have won six-straight games. With today's performances, the Blue & Gold has reached double-digit hits for the sixth time this season.
 
The 9-0 victory is the third shutout this season. Brooklyn Shroyer tossed the Spartans' first complete game no-hitter since Maddie Spell earned the 3-0 eight-inning win on Feb. 25, 2024, against Kennesaw State in Kennesaw, Georgia, at Bailey Park. This is also the third no-hitter for the Spartans in five years and fourth in nine years. Shroyer's performance was the 15th no-hitter in program history.
 
This is Shroyer's second-collegiate no-hitter, as she had one on April 16, 2024, in a 3-0 victory against Le Moyne when she wore the Fairleigh Dickinson uniform.
 
GAME 1: UNCG 13 – Bucknell 5 (5 inn.)
  • Bucknell took hold of a 1-0 lead in the top of the first as Brooke Popella hit an RBI double, scoring Skye Perez.
  • The Spartans responded immediately in the bottom of the frame with three runs on two hits and one error for a 3-1 advantage.
  • Laney Deane's sacrifice fly drove in the first run for the Blue & Gold, before Hadley Gardner's single scored a second and an error added another tally, 3-0.
  • The Bison cut the deficit to 3-2 in the top of the second with a bases-loaded RBI single, before the Spartans retired the side with back-to-back outs.
  • A five-hit, five-run second inning for the Spartans broke the game open, 8-2. One of the five hits included a three-run home run from Macy Michael, her fourth of the season and 13th career blast.
  • After a scoreless third inning, UNCG's Rylie Williams pinch hit and roped a two-run double down the left field line, adding two runs in the bottom of the fourth for a 10-2 advantage.
  • A three-run homer over the left field wall in the top of the fifth by Bucknell's Popella kept the game alive, 10-5.
  • Nya South led off the bottom of the fifth with a solo home run for her fourth-career blast, for an 11-5 lead.
  • Deane followed with a single and Samantha Beck, who pinch ran, stole second base. Ava Talley followed with a ground out for the first out, moving Beck over to third, before Betsy Eatmon selected the fourth pitch of her at bat, sending it over the left field wall.
  • This was her first homer of the season and 11th of her career, walking off with the eight-run victory, 13-5.
